Diploma in Project Management - Revised 2017
Learn project management tools and methods, and how to effectively plan and implement project management phases.
Project management skills and expertise are in great demand internationally. These skills are not only valued, but also exciting. As a Project Manager, you can become involved in some of the most interesting ventures that the major companies of the world conduct. But becoming a Project Manager takes a long time, and can be very difficult. Many people start the biggest and most complicated courses immediately without realising how hard they are making things for themselves down the line. This course is designed to make your future project management training much more manageable.
The course guides you through the factors that need to be considered when planning a project. The course begins by explaining the various phases of the project life cycle, including analysis, planning, design and evaluation. It then describes project management methodology and basic tools in detail. Next, the course describes the different types of documentation found in project management, and finally it presents a project management case study where you can see the various phases of project management being carried out.
This course takes just 15 hours, but it is not the end of your project management training. It is not designed to give you all the skills you need to be a Project Manager in just 15 hours. What this short period of learning time is going to give you is access to the rest of your project management training, so that as you continue your training you will find things much clearer and much more manageable. Simply put, these 15 hours will make the remaining time you spend on project management training much easier. So go on, start your training cleverly.
